Genesis - ch 27 v 1 - 20
- And it cometh to pass that Isaac `is' aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, `My son;' and he saith unto him, `Here `am' I.'
- And he saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
- and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,
- and make for me tasteful things, `such' as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee before I die.'
- And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision -- to bring in;
- and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, `Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,
- Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
- `And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:
- Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, `such' as he hath loved;
- and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless thee before his death.
- And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, `Lo, Esau my brother `is' a hairy man, and I a smooth man,
- it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, and not a blessing;'
- and his mother saith to him, `On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.'
- And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, `such' as his father hath loved;
- and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which `are' with her in the house, and doth put on Jacob her younger son;
- and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
- and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.
- And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, `My father;' and he saith, `Here `am' I; who `art' thou, my son?'
- And Jacob saith unto his father, `I `am' Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.'
- And Isaac saith unto his son, `What `is' this thou hast hasted to find, my son?' and he saith, `That which Jehovah thy God hath caused to come before me.'
